COW AND HER TWINS

OK, cute picture time. So a couple weekends ago, I was roaming around the property checking fence lines mostly and I saw this black cow with her baby...

But as I got close to take a picture, a second one peered out from behind the safety of mama!

Two for the price of one!

They walked further away from the fence, wary of this stranger with the camera. THEY WERE SO CUTE! But they stood there, staring at me for a bit...

...and then decided caution was the better option and wandered away. This is a property of a few hundred acres that backs up to ours. The cows have free range of the whole property and so when we have them by our fence line, we're always appreciative of their visits. We find cows such interesting creatures. as they really do seem to be curious. They do however, more often than not, remain wary of strangers.

We wish they'd just come to the fence line for a head scratching. They have no idea what they are missing, ha!

Peg read my mind; Same thing I was thinking.Now, go get some carrots and have some handy when you go to the farm but then again the more I thought about it the cows could come and lean on the fence thinking you're going to give them something to eat and end up knocking down the fence and coming onto your property and into your garden, etc. Something that you don't want to happen.I think the more the cows / livestock see of you working on the farm, the more they will get used to seeing you and knowing that you mean no harm but curious watching you anyway.

The mama is so wary of you because she has babies. Just show her carrots or an apple gotten too old. She will wait on you. I picked pears from a property that had cows in a fence. The bawled and walked back and force, wanting pears. The property owner told me that. They just wait for people in the pen and make a racket.

About Me

Born in the city, raised in the city, work in the city, but long to live in the country...so, we bought an old farmhouse on acreage in the country, and now the journey begins. This blog will share that journey, as we hope to become more self sufficient and eventually move away from the hustle and bustle of the fast paced life we've led. Along the way, we'll share ideas, photos, plans, recipes, crafts, and hopefully get a lot from you all as well. Welcome to the great state of Texas and our farm, Seda Bolsa Farm!
